I have finally figured out some of my scaping plans... going to try getting a carpet started at the front to the right and left (leaving the centre clear). Also I am going to completely replace that whole mess of taller plants (mostly wisteria) at the back right and use some more variety (some parrot's feather or something similar along with whatever I can get that looks good...). There will be a java fern going on the piece of driftwood on the right, and I'm getting a jungle val for the back left corner. Can't wait to get started on all of this!!
